Cornwall in the Early Arthurian Tradition It Is Believed That an Actual “King Arthur” Lived in 6Th Century AD in the Southwe
Cornwall in the Early Arthurian Tradition Heather Dale April 2008 It is believed that an actual “King Arthur” lived in 6th Century AD in the southwestern area of Britain. A brief history lesson is needed to provide the backdrop to this historical Arthur. In 43 AD, the Romans occupied Britain, subduing the northern Pictish & Scottish tribes, and incorporating the pre-literate but somewhat more civilized Celtic peoples into the Roman Empire. The Romans intermarried with the Celts, who emulated their customs and superior technology; these Romanized Celts became known as Britons. When the Romans abandoned Britain in 410 AD, the Britons found themselves attacked on all sides: the northern tribes pushed south, the Irish raided from the west, and fierce Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Franks, Frisians) and Norsemen slowly pushed the Celts into southwestern Wales and Cornwall. Some even fled across to the Continent, establishing Brittany in western France and becoming known as Bretons. It is in this turbulent post-Roman time that a brave man, perhaps a sort of tribal chieftain, led a small force of Britons into battle with the Germanic tribes. And due to tactical skill, superior fighting prowess and/or incredible luck (we will never know) this Artorius or Arthur held back the Germanic hordes from his corner of Britain for 30 years, a full generation. This incredible feat is first mentioned in a 6th century quasi-historical Latin chronicle by the monk Gildas. Later chroniclers added detail of dubious historical accuracy but great heroism to the tale of Arthur. The Venerable Bede wrote in 731 AD about the first great victory over the Saxons at Mount Badon (surmised by some to be Liddington Castle near Swindon), and the Welsh chronicler Nennius bases his 9th century story on material from the rich Welsh storytelling tradition.

I Would Like to Dedicate This Book To
The Newsletter of the Camelford and Week St. Mary Circuit 12/20 Bethel, Boscastle, Bossiney, Brockhill, Camelford, Delabole, Living Water, Maxworthy, Rehoboth, St. Breward, St. Teath, St. Tudy, Tintagel, Tremail, Tresparrett, Treveighan, Week St. Mary 1 February! It's an odd month - still dark and often cold and wet. All the fun and warmth of Christmas seems far behind us and the summer is a far distant dream. And yet the signs of spring are all around us - snowdrops push up brave spears along the banks; primroses nestle shyly among the leaves and the dancing heads of golden daffodils are a bright reminder that spring is almost here. Have you ever thought that the story of the Church is a little like the circling seasons? There are periods of life and light and growth and there are times of darkness and decline. The same pattern can be seen throughout Biblical history. The people of Israel listened to God and obeyed Him and prospered and fell away from their Covenant commitment and everything fell apart around them. Even in the history of Methodism we see the pattern repeated. Wesley's work began at a time when the church had lost any real relevance to the mass of people in this country and Wesley and his friends broke with several centuries of Church tradition to take the Gospel out of the churches to the people who needed to hear it. He didn't pull any punches and called people to change their lives around. Membership of the Methodist Church meant real commitment, regular attendance at worship, a change in lifestyle, active membership of a Methodist class and a prayer band meeting.
